Nicknames within a relationship?

[Fiirefly]

Lighthearted topic, just out of curiosity. What are the nicknames you guys have for your OH? Or vice versa. My partner has always called me Firefly or Pea. No idea where they came from but I love them. Share yours? :)

Mine has recently taken to calling me tiger lily it was the name of a shop we were passing by and it's kinda stuck.

I often get called is T-Rex arms because I can't reach the top of the kitchen cupboards ☺️

He calls me Boris 😏😂

I mostly call DP dude or bae. He mostly calls me kiddo. We are not very romantic, it works for us

My parents jokingly referred to each other as Mr Pig and Mrs Pig. My model for affection, right there.

Babe, Dave or Kid. Works for us.

My OH calls me the rather unflattering Gormeloid amongst other things - no idea what it means but it isn't a complement.

I call him a Decorative Bonehead.
He also made a rhyme about me years ago which goes:

Flip-flop flip-flop
She's a flip-flop
Leathery on the bottom
And open up top

And another one:

Legs of a limpet
Arms of a squid
Watch her banging the saucepan lid

Just for info, he's 48.
I stopped feeling attractive years ago...

Mine calls me Bärbourn Biscuit. It's a portmanteau of the German word for bear, and a biscuit 🐻🍪

BF calls me Poobumhead, which I sometimes answer to.

I call him the long or French version of his name, or darling.

We call each other Puff or Fluff or Bluff, sometimes Bubbles. DH's colleague read a message over his shoulder where I'd called him Bubbles and has never let him hear the end of it

He calls me cocksnogger

No it's not because I do what the name says. He's always called me it.

This is extremley outing but oh well, His is tintin.

-or dopey pillock under my breath-

Can't say his or mine as they're pretty specific and outing - does bellend count?

My ex used to call me beetroot because of my hair.

Spotty, because I worry about my skin. I rarely have spots these days.

'Creech of the wildwoods' comes up occasionally, but mostly 'Grub'. He's lovely honestly!

I call him monkey or poppy head to show my love. He calls me a short version of my name with cat added to the end. He used to call me kitten.

*poopy head not poppy

My surname or smiler, usually when I'm pissed off with him, also short stuff.
I call him a shortened version of his name or shit face.

Lately he seems to have gotten stuck on using the first syllables of my first and middle name. I call him arse faced weasel, a Welshified version of his (long) name or love.

In company, he is Love and I am Babe. In private he is Sex Wildebeest and I am Fuck Bunny.
We don't look the type

sexwildebeest?!

I just call mine dickhead

Babe, princess or little spoon! I call him babe or my love. We’re quite soppy!
